Since the technical preview of w10 is out, lets have a nice new thread for everyone to hate Microsoft in.

GO

(I've already seen people whining about 10 being a free upgrade if you own 8/8.1 - seriously)

Wait, first where is the promised start menu for windows 8.356 or something?

Second, if I .. acquired Win 8 through side channels.. im screwed?

So am I still getting Windows 10 for free for putting up with the shit-show that is 8?

I doubt it, although it would be a good idea just to give free upgrade copies to everyone running 8.x and then erase Win 8; no more sales, no support (while I happen to like Win 8 personally, anything that unpopular needs to die double quick). But they'll probably opt run the same cut-price deal for early upgrades that they did for 7>8 upgrades.

Been playing with Win 10 preview for a couple of hours now and I quite like it, it's basically 8.1 tweaked to work a bit more like Win 7. Which is exactly what it needs to be.

basically theya re doing to 8 what 7 did to vista.
Change the name, tidy it up and ta-daaa all the innovations people hate and bitched about for 11million forum posts are now decent features.

It'll probably continue to be a thing. Every other release - throw out wacky (innovative) stuff people will hate/love/adapt to then water ti down back to core enterprise windows functionality on alternates.

'big' companies are still finishing their 7 rollouts. Just in time for 10.
